05-23 Bater, Severy Looking for information the parentage of Moses Severy, who was born about 1823, most probably in Dixfield, Maine. He married my great-great-great-aunt Margaret J. Baxter in July 1850. I have a great deal of info on their children, etc., but no background on Moses himself before 1850.

The newlyweds (Moses and Margaret) appear to have visited a large family of Severys in August 1850, the month after their marriage, and thus were "caught" by the Federal Census enumerator. This is my clue to the fact that Moses was related to them.

In the same census household there also appears a Daniel Severy who matches the age of a brother of Moses. There are MANY Severys living in several adjacent households in Dixfield in 1850. Would this have been the "Severy Hill" that I see mentioned in some message boards? Thank you...
